from each Stale one prepared by (ion. ).
A. lhx, a delegate from New York, and
one by Amos Kendall. The commit lee
disagreed upon the Tarill and ihe Hank of
tho 'nited .Slates. Roth addresses Were
agretiluptjii what was then considered the
radical vie.vsol ' Mio li-niot:nilic pin ly ; but
as there was difocully in so framing tho ud-dro-s
as to make it agrcciii'io to all Ihe
Slates, and lo vtu ions interests of locolit ies,
it was concluded to dispense with it. In
stead of fiti nddie-s, the committee rcj or
ted lo tiie ('i nvention a resolution that
the delegation of each State be recommen
ded to communicate with their constitu

in .such ma-iinor as they thought proper.
In connection with this. John For-ylh, a
ileletiale from (ioorgia, pivpoed a resilu

tho champion of the American system,
which it would bo dillicult for them to

New York incorporated the principle of

account of a dreadful accident which had
happened at tho factory in the next t',v)i
and which tho village editor had described
in a great ninny words. , ,
"I d'claf" , wife, t lint wat f.h awful acci

"What was it about, MrSl,oeumT" -(
"I'll read (ho 'count, wife, and then
you'll kr.ow all about it."
Mr. S. began to read:
11 on it i in.ii and Fatal Accident. .It be
comes our painful duty to record tho par
ticulars of an neoident that occured at tho
lower mill, in this village, yesterday after
noon, by which a human being in .the
prime of life was hurried to that borne
from which, as the immortal Shakesperu
savs, 'no traveler return. '
""Du tell I" exclaimed Mrs. S. i
Mr. David Jones, a workman whohn but
few superiors this side of tho city of large
drums, ("I wonder if it was a brass drum
such as has 'Eblubst Unum' printed on't,
said Mrs. S.,) when he became entangled.
His arm was drawn around the drum, and
finally his whole body wna drawn over tho
shaft at a fearful rate. When his situation
was discovered lie., had revolved with im
uieiise velocity, about fifteen minutes, hit
head and limbs striking a largo beam a
distinct blow at each revolution. . ("Poor

When tho machinery had been sloped it

Here Mr. Slocum paused to wipe, hil
spectacles, ami the wife soiled the oppor
tunity to prosit the question
"Was tho man killed."
'T don't know In ven't come to that
yet you'll know when I have finished the
"piece." And Mr. Slocum continued read

"It was evident, when the hhnpelert
form was taken down that it was no longr
er tenanted by the immortal spirit that
the vital spark was extinct."
"Was tho man killed! tbat'soWhat I
want to come nt," .said Mrs. Slocum.
'Do have a little patiaaeo, old woman,"
said Mr. Slocum, eyeing his. better half
over his spectacle, "I presume we aha'l
come upon it righl away." And ho went
on reading
" I bis fatal cnsuality lias.cast .a gloorrt
oyer our villa'je, and wo trust that it will
prove a warning to all persons . who aro
called upon to rignlnto the powerful ma
chinery of our mills." .,
"Now" said Mrs. .Slocum; .percciviod
tin t tho narrative . was ended, "now I
should like to know whether the man won
kil'ed or not."
Mr. Slocum looked puzzled. Hescrfttch-'
ed li 13 head scrutinizing tho nrticlo he had
been perusing, and took a graceful survey

"I declare, wile," taid he, "its ciirious

to any ae like that, and concluded mildly
with :
"You should not have done that, my

'Then ho'd a wallopped mo," replied
the young hopeful.
" hotter," said tho sire, ' for )bu have

'"Yes, but," replied tho hopeful, by way
of a final clincher, "Jack can run twice us
